A 1 BHK is usually Rs 3,500 to Rs 6,500, a 2 BHK Rs 6,000 to Rs 10,500 and a larger house Rs 9,000 to Rs 16,000 for a local move. Ask for floor protection at survey and it is included in the written figure.

By covering the path from each room to the door with protective sheets, lifting heavy items instead of dragging them and setting them down gently with enough hands. Granite edges at doorways and steps get extra care, because that is where chips happen.

Dragging and grit. A heavy item pulled across a floor, or set down on sand carried in from outside and then shifted, scratches the surface. Lifting properly and keeping the entrance swept prevents most of it.

Yes. Wooden floors dent and scratch more easily than stone, so the path is covered, furniture legs are padded and nothing heavy is rolled on hard castors. Tell us about wooden floors at survey.

It can be, if the grout or polish has not fully set. Ask your contractor how long to wait before heavy furniture goes in. Tell us too, so the crew takes extra care on the newest floors.

Yes, stair treads and especially the front edges get their own covering. Stairs take more knocks than any other part of the floor, because heavy items are carried down them at awkward angles.

Walk the house and note any existing marks on the floors, take a quick photograph of each room, sweep the entrance and keep a broom and a doormat out. It gives everybody a clear starting point.

No. Heavy items are lifted and carried by enough people to set them down gently. If something is too heavy for the crew on the day, the answer is more hands, never dragging.

Marble is softer than granite and marks more easily, especially from grit and from acidic spills. It gets the same careful handling, with extra attention to anything set down on it.

Yes, if it is rolled on its own small wheels or dragged. Appliances are lifted by enough people and carried over covered floor, then set down gently at the other end.

It adds some time at the start and end of the day. Ask for it at survey and it goes into the written figure. It is far cheaper than repolishing a granite floor or replacing a row of chipped tiles.

Thresholds take a lot of knocks as furniture is carried through at an angle. They are covered, and the crew keeps the edges of heavy items clear of the door frame and the threshold stone.

Corners and door frames on the path can be padded where they are likely to be knocked. Tell us about freshly painted walls in the new house, because fresh paint marks easily too.

The entrance is swept several times, a doormat stays at the main door, and furniture that stood outside is wiped before it is set down indoors. Small things, but they are what prevent most scratches.

Point it out to the supervisor before the crew leaves, with a photograph. Having noted and photographed the floors before the move makes it much easier to see what happened on the day.

Ask at survey. Some families prefer it for a newly finished house, and it is easier to plan in advance than to arrange on the day.

Yes. Ground floor houses often have the most expensive floors and the busiest path, every item in the house goes through the same hall and the same main door.

Not really. Rugs slide and bunch up underfoot, and they are a tripping hazard for someone carrying a heavy item. Roll them and pack them first, and use proper protective sheets instead.

Ideally, yes. Decide where each large item goes before the day, so it is set down once in the right place rather than moved around the room and dragged twice.

Addresses in the area often use the stage, and residents use both the stage and the wider Vijayanagar name. Give us the full address and we will find it either way.

A week to ten days is usually enough for a local move, longer at month end. Mention floor protection when you book so it is part of the plan from the start.

Yes. Intercity moves are priced per kilometre, roughly Rs 15 to Rs 28 depending on vehicle size and load. Floors at the destination can be protected in the same way if our crew unloads.

Yes, transit insurance is available on the declared value of your goods. It covers the goods in transit rather than the floors of either house, which is why protecting the floors properly matters.

Yes, we offer storage in Bangalore on a monthly basis, priced on volume. If the new house is still being floored, storing the heavy furniture until it is done is often the safer plan.

The hall and the corridor to the main door, because every item passes over them, and the first step of each staircase. Bedrooms with a single heavy wardrobe come next. The kitchen floor is rarely the problem, the doorway into it often is.

It can, especially if a leg has lost its plastic cap. Check the feet of your heavier furniture before the move, and fit felt pads or caps where they are missing. That protects the new house long after moving day too.

Outdoor granite steps take the heaviest items at the most awkward angles, and they are usually gritty. They are swept and covered along with the inside path, and the crew takes the steps slowly.

After, if you can wait. A floor polished the day before a move gets walked on by a crew all day. Polishing once the furniture is in place and the cartons are gone gives a cleaner finish for longer.
